Local Store Aruba

Delicious! Our family of 3 generations ate and were conquered! Specialty drinks, seafood, wings and burgers had great flavor. Shrimp was cooked just right, fried pickles yum. Parking is small so be careful entering lot. Indoors is louder due to music playing and big screen TVs showing current international sports, we got to watch a Yankees game when we requested to see it! Outdoor seating faces the street and tables and chairs are high tops. Popular hangout with busy but friendly service. I’d go back many times over.

Overall it was meh. I think it would have been a better experience but the customer service and rules are kind of annoying. We are big wing people and wanted to try a bunch but they do not allow you to split up the large quantities into multiple flavors. This caused the price to eat there to increase significantly. Not a big deal but was kind of a deal breaker. If the food would have been amazing it wouldn’t have been a bid deal. We saw this restaurant on social media but feel It is very overrated. There are much better restaurants on the island.

When you are looking for just some casual comfort food, Local Store lives up to its name. Wings and burgers. But they are not boring! The sauces available are not many you will find in the states (minus the Deep South, might rival some homemade versions there). The burgers had added condiments and veggies to elevate the experience. Great spot to get off the tourist trap strips.

Local Store Aruba is a great spot with an even greater ambiance. The vibe is casual, fun, and perfect for hanging out with friends or enjoying a relaxed meal. The food really stands out—especially the loaded fries and funchi fries, which are absolutely amazing and full of flavor. While most of the menu impresses, the chicken strips were a bit of a letdown and could use some improvement in taste and texture. That said, the wide variety of drinks more than makes up for it, offering something for everyone. Overall, it was a great experience and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended if you’re in Aruba and looking for a lively place with good food and drinks!

Yucca fries, loaded fries, Caesar, dry rubbed wings with the heavy sugar kiss, everything was spot on perfect. Even had fountain Coke with real sugar

The burger I had was fantastic! Certified Angus Beef is always the best! The homemade salt & pepper chips were also delicious!

Just spent a week in Aruba. This bar was down the street from where I stayed. Every night it was consistently full of local patrons. We stopped in twice and our server, DD was there both times. She was fantastic and attentive!!! She recommended the "BOOM BOOM WINGS" and they did not disappoint!! The food was great! The atmosphere was incredible. Nice open patio, cozy inside. Someone said this place was "touristy", it isn't. It has a wonderful local charm (hence Local Store). I can't say enough good things about this place. A must stop for anyone looking for a quick and delicious bite to eat and an ice cold beverage!! This will be my first stop should I find myself back on One Happy Island!!

We love going there but when we went Nov. 1, we split the bill with other couple paid cash and I used my credit card. The young college age server billed us the entire amount on my card and took the rest as a tip. I hope it was in error. Please be more careful than I was.
